Synopsis
A volume in Science & Engineering Education Sources
Series Editor Calvin S. Kalman, Concordia University
This book is intended to offer college faculty members the insights of the
development of reasoning movement that enlighten physics educators in the
late 1970s and led to a variety of college programs directed at improving the
reasoning patterns used by college students. While the original materials were
directed at physics concepts, they quickly expanded to include other sciences
and the humanities and social sciences. On-going developments in the field
will be included.
The editors have introduced new topics, including discussions of Vygotsky's ideas in relation to those of Piaget,
of science education research progress since 1978, of constructivist learning theory applied to educational
computer games and of applications from anthropology to zoology. These materials are especially relevant for
consideration by current university faculty in all subjects.
